Remutaka Cycle Trail Map

We highly recommend starting your adventure by taking a scenic harbour cruise to beautiful Days Bay.

From Days Bay, we’ll shuttle you a couple of kms up the road to our main base in Eastbourne. Enjoy an optional out-and-back ride to Pencarrow Head, and check out NZ’s oldest lighthouse, before hitting the main trail. Finish the multi-day ride at either Ocean Beach or Orongorongo, and we’ll shuttle you back to your accommodation in Wellington / Hutt Valley that night.

SECTION LENGTHS:

Days Bay to Petone  7km  
Petone to Maymorn  35km
Maymorn to Cross Creek  25km
Cross Creek to Ocean Beach  36km
Ocean Beach to Orongorongo  18km

EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Note these recommendations are based on riders completing the whole Remutaka Cycle Trail (or the loop) and thus are set to cover the most demanding situations; for section by section breakdowns please see the detailed trail info.

Bike use a reliable mountain bike or hybrid bike in good condition, with front suspension. 
Tyres use tyres that are at least 2.0" wide, with at least a combination road/off-road tread (but ideally off-road), and always take a pump and a spare tube so that you can vary the tyre pressure to suit the conditions, and be covered in case of puncture. 
Clothing dress to the conditions (usually shorts and tshirt with a jersey in reserve, though you may wish to take thermals as well), and always take a light jacket. Closed shoes recommended.
